certainly your co-worker and also largely your mentor. i inherited the theater at a funny time in its life. it needed to make some decisions as an institution about what it wanted to be. whether it wanted to be exclusively a rental facility, it is needed to be a rehearsal space with a really high ceilings -- whatever it was, having that level of leadership that my founding director is also my boss really made that possible. i really felt like i had great stewardship and we were able to make really innovative decisions for how the theater could grow over the decade. >> living with -- living with someone who is both your immediate boss and also a working artist is also a huge asset. that is one of the things that keeps the creativity flowing through odc. it is a campus about the creative process at all times. >> the theater was part of a second phase of capital fund

raising and community support. the previous one had renovated the space where the rehearsal studios are and the school is, sell what does that sort of say about the importance of the odc in the community? >> i think it's spoke to the two very different tracks of our organization. part of what we do is education and outreach. part of what we do is performance on the part of our company, odc dance, and a third part of what we do is this presenting an incubation stage. when we came to people to talk about the theater as a second investment after having built the dance commons, the distinct purpose of the theater really came through. what we were going to do with our venue was invest deeply in creativity, deeply in our regional artists, and we were going to do something that most mid-size san francisco venues have struggled to do. >> talk to me a little about the group other than odc that have

used this space. >> one of the great pleasures in our opening season was to go back and invite two of our former resident artists to launch this space. arab laung was to invite two of the best known -- our launch was to invite two of the best known companies in the city to share in the event, and it was really exceptional. these are companies that i have worked with and the organization has worked with releases they were either newborn or just a few years old, and to go back to that roster and invite two of our really major home town honeys to open a theater and be able to treat them as the professionals they have become with this opportunity, with this menu, and with the resources that were available was really a full circle experience for both

of us. >> now that the theater has been fully renovated, where is it going? >> i believe that san francisco is in some ways to the nation what odc is to san francisco, which is to say that i believe the west coast is the hotbed for innovation. i think it is where major cultural innovations happen, where huge ideas are born and often raised up. it may not often be the marketplace that other major metropolitan areas are, but i do think is the center of where creativity sits. i think that what odc can do by becoming this level of institution is raise the platform of san francisco. i name -- in many ways, it is sort of a death process, but putting an artist in contact with recording artists, with other major areas, with exchange companies around the country and the world will become a central part of what we do.

>> it is clear that now there is a campus that has been built out and filled in, that odc is playing this fabulous supportive and incubated role, both for san francisco, the bay area, and the country. thank you so much for being part of "culturewire." >> my pleasure. >> and for contributing so much to the performing arts of our city. >> for more information, visit odc >> welcome to the rules committee. my name is supervisor kim. joined by supervisor farrel. the court today is linda wong.

they record each meeting and make the transcripts available online. are there any announcements? >> this adams ammendment will go to the full board. >> and can we excuse supervisor ellsbernd? call item number one. >> motion to appoint mirkarimi to the council. >> we will open up for public comment. public comment is now closed. are there any comments or questions on this item? we can move this forward without recommendation.

may you pleace call -- please call item 2. >> the terms ending 2011 and 2013, the bond oversight committee. two seats and two applicants. we will go in the order listed. first is brian brown. >> good afternoon. if you can introduce yourself? and thank you for your service to the community. >> ahs the economist -- i wrote

the economic section. we put forward the idea of creating a revenue bond oversight committee. i was nominated to this in 2003. i would like to be reappointed to the remaining months from november. i would like to be reappointed for the reasons we have discussed today. this is the continuity and the revenue oversight committee. the article i referred to may be found with this system -- and i

have a copy here. i think that this is a very good read -- and this was published by the urban water institution, and i have also written elsewhere -- including the economic section in 2002, the task force report. when i would like to see happen for the revenue oversight committee in my remaining months is to have this disciplinary group, this group proposal. and i would like to see the

committee hold public reach out meeting as prescribed in the legislation. i am always available to meet with you and your colleagues on this issue, i have done so in the past. and when my supervisor was here -- we used to have regular meetings. commission of the revenue oversight committee is to make certain that all regular bonds as expanded -- are expended for the purposes of a cost-effective way. there is a lot of money in the revenue bonds that is upcoming. this is about $5 billion or $4 billion, this is unclear.

this may be a considerable amount. my concern is a lot of programs are not on budget with the least possible cost -- i did not know if this is still operational. we created a group -- the transparency committee, and we ask them to discuss these issues. and so -- i was on that, and that also served on the roll

call infrastructure project. if you have any other questions -- i have my credentials here with me. >> the rest may is very impressive. we depend on members of the public to serve on the oversight committee to make certain that we're spending our dollars effectively. i appreciate your work in your extensive experience. >> i just want to say, thank you for your service. >> i would like to call up the next applicant. >> it is nice to see you. i hope that all is well. i will briefly summarize because i know you have heard my background before before this committee. i spent the first part of my career on wall street's --

working at merrill lynch. according to the new york city comptroller's office. for the last 20 or so years, i have been a finance and accounting professional. in this city i work for a startup with online gaming, which is obviously an emerging market. we are hiring another 10 people which i am certain you are happy to hear in san francisco. >> why not 20 people? >> we are looking for the space. in addition to my experience, i have an interest in public service. i was just reported to continue in that role for the next year. the serving on a committee like this will allow me to bring my

expertise and my experience to bear on making certain that the public money is spent affectively, and for the right purpose. and i hope that my skills -- in catching different things will help. and we will not waste this money. i thank you for the opportunity to be here today. >> i do have a quick question. the members appointed should have expertise in economics and project management. can you touch on your experience in any of those areas. >> clearly, in economics, i have a good background. we have the various areas on the

economic side. the project touches me from a professional standpoint. this is as opposed to a water system or a public utility. but my experience is probably most relevant because this was expected to be a vertical solar company. being a financial controller for this company, we were building some solar farms in canada and i was instrumental in this. this does provide some debt experience for the construction and the project management as well. >> we were wanting to contact you a couple of times to ask if you had attended any of these meetings. >> i did speak with the

gentleman on the phone. and i just got this the other day. i certainly plan to spend time with someone like him and others. >> i only ask because we were hoping he would do that before the rules committee today and i would feel more comfortable continuing -- we would love to support you for a position and we appreciate your commitment to wanting to serve the city but we want the applicants to meet with them prior to confirming the appointment. of course, this would be one of my thoughts. >> this is not a specific requirement. were you notified that he would be accepted before hand?

in all fairness -- >> we may have had a bad number for you. >> the notion is fine. if this was a requirement i would have taken care of this. i think that the discussion that i did have with the person who called -- i did get a callback from someone and they were on the board of supervisors. i do not quite know exactly what this meant. they spoke to me about my background and my interests. at this time, we left that, we had to have rules committee. the messages came to me yesterday or the day before. and there was really not time for me to get in touch with him, most likely on the phone.

but this is up to you in terms of your preference. i think i am a quick learner and a quick study, and we will get up to speed very quickly. they seem quite anxious to fill the seat and get on with the work. there are a lot of things happening, and i think that they have had someone on a carryover basis for some time. i am flexible. >> they would like to me before confirming the appointment. i would prefer to continue this and we can bring this back immediately on june 3. this is june 2. others have requested this and i will defer to them but i think that this is just a formality to get a sense of your interest. >> is there a particular person

or should i just go through the cfo? >> lun -- the legislative aide will put you in touch with them. >> i have all intentions of putting forward, but with this requirement, if there is a bad number, there is a bad number. i would be hard-pressed to ask somebody to do something that is not know that there will have to do. you can meet with him in a couple of weeks. >> and which allow me to come back on the second? >> i'll be happy to do that. i will be in touch with them and schedule some time with them and we will go from there. >> and other any other questions? i will open this up for public comment on the second item. please step up to the

microphone. and the public, is closed. >> i would like to make a motion to continue until the floor meeting two weeks from today. and can you call in number three? >> this is the building regulation code, for central market street in the tenderloin area. >> my apologies. >> this is a continuance of the ordnance amending the business and tax regulation code by adding the citizen's advisory committee, if we take into account several of the comments and feedback given to us and we agreed to amend the legislation so that the appointment would

come to the rules committee. are there any comments or questions? we will open up for public comment. >> good afternoon. my name is lorenzo, a resident of the tenderloin.

i am member of the filipino community organization. i would like to thank the supervisor for introducing this legislation. this is very important for us. we support the creation of the citizen's advisory committee because we feel that this would make certain that the residents are part of the revitalization efforts. would like to see a revitalization and also supports the residence. and the amendment that is there too. thank you, supervisor. >> that afternoon. it also with the tenderloin organization.

-- -- citizen advisory committee. >> sessa representing the tenderloin development, supporting this legislation. we support the amendment and we hope that the legislation will move out of committee, for this to continue. at this time this should be moved forward. we understand this as an advisory committee, this has no real enforceability, and the goal is to create recommendations and to generally give the community a method of input, so as far as i am concerned, the amendment is fine and we can move forward with this legislation. >> good afternoon.

>> many families in our neighborhood, we live in and it -- overcrowded housing. i support this because we want to protect the tenderloin residence from displacement and help create affordable living. thank you very much. >> good afternoon. i am manuel and i live in the south market. i believe that they can protect and help the community, so please support cac. thank you. >> good afternoon. i am with -- and i want to say,

i want to thank supervisor kim for supporting this to help the tenderloin residents for this cac. thank you. >> good afternoon, supervisor. i hope that you support this. thank you. >> and is there any other public comment? public comment is closed. i want to take a moment to thank any of the organizers and advocates and residents in the south market for being so engaged. this has helped the office to have such engage community with

the policies that we developed in this district, practicing legislation. thank you very much. do we have a motion to adopt this amendment? what's the first motion to adopt the amendment? >> i want to thank you for doing those amendments, and also looking for to the full boards recommendation. >> the motion to move forward without objection. will you please call in #4. >> item #4 -- the campaign in government with the conduct code, with the conflict of interest code. >> said we have someone from the supervisor's office to talk about this ordinance. >> thank you. >> i am sorry that you were waiting. >> this ordinance, i believe it is very clear.

this is the redistricting task force. after the census from 2010 and the announcement of this showed that the population in these districts had changed, we decided to have the task force convened. this ordinance was introduced at the first meeting available after the director of the department of elections reported this to the memo that i referred to. we have the full board of the committee report. this is one step in the process for this committee. the committee will, in june -- they will have appointments for the task force, and i am certain that they are aware that they will post the vacancy notice for the redistricting task force and this can be found on the web site. and they have more information on the seats that will be appointed, and if you have more

questions, call us -- >> can you repeat this more slowly? >> 415-554-7719, sfvos.org. and i believe that later on in may or june, you'll have a schedule for when we will consider this appointment. >> we will schedule the consideration of this appointment. >> my request would be for a committee report to the full board, just to get this done as quickly as possible. >> are there any questions or comments? at this time it will open for public comment on this item. and if there's any public comment, please step up on the
